All fixed!

No one would seriously recommend Lackawanna County’s government as a model of democratic perfection. Patronage and pay-to-play are long-standing and accepted facts of life at the county courthouse, existing most of the time as a faint scent but occasionally becoming a full-on stench (ref. Cordaro-Munchak). A ballot initiative scheduled for Tuesday’s primary election would establish a commission to study the structure of the county’s government. On its face, it’s a laudable idea. In practice, however, there’s ample reason to suspect that it would simply allow Lackawanna County who-do-you-know government to become … well, even more so.
